Tommy Wiseau takes on a Big Shark in The Room sequel trailer

Tommy Wiseau, the man behind arguably the (best) worst movie of all time, is back with a new feature. This time he transitions from shady future spouses to big sea creatures in the future Big Shark. Before the film’s release, the first trailer was unveiled. And as you’ve probably guessed, it’s sure to be a wild ride.

Big Shark is simple enough in its premise. As the title suggests, the film will feature a really big shark devastating New Orleans. The story is mainly about three firefighters – Georgie, Patrick and Tim – who will face said shark. Wiseau wrote, directed and starred as Patrick in the feature film. Georgie is played Markus Valerianowhile Tim is being played Isaiah La Borde.

The trailer itself doesn’t reveal much, although it raises a few questions. It starts with a bunch of guys getting ready to start a boxing match. After all, what would a Wiseau film be without some sport? Dramatic shots of the city are interspersed, building the tension for the shark’s arrival. Of course, the shark shows up and is looking for blood. But we’ll have to wait for the movie to find out exactly how it’s terrorizing the city.

Big Shark marks Wiseau’s second career as a feature film director, following his directorial debut on the infamous cult classic The room. Released in 2003, The room revolves around Wiseau’s Johnny, a man doing some sort of job who is excited to marry his wife-to-be Lisa (Julia Danielle). However, Lisa is cheating on Johnny with his best friend Mark (Gregory Sestero). While the film was poorly received at the time, it has become a staple of midnight screenings across the country. Sestero later co-wrote a book Tom Bisell, The Disaster Artist, Chronicle of the production of the film. It was then adapted into a film of the same name starring James And David Franco. A reissue of The roomlead by Bob Odenkirkis also on the way.

Big Shark Will have a slow rollout

It is scheduled to open on April 28th and 29th at the Prytania Theaters and Canal Place in New Orleans, May 5th and 6th at the Balboa Theater in San Francisco, June 2nd and 3rd at the Landmark Westwood in LA and at the Village East by Angelika releases in New York August 10-12.
